Robert Reich - Columbia University. The European Union. Japan. All have just concluded deals with Trump, and all are claiming they did well — or as well as they could.
Rubbish. When will they learn? It’s impossible to deal with a tyrant
because a tyrant won’t ever be satisfied. Giving in to Trump — and
that’s what Columbia University, the EU, and Japan have just done — only
encourages him to demand more....
The only way universities, nations, law firms, media corporations, or any other entities he threatens can protect themselves from him is to join together with other universities, nations, law firms, and media corporations, respectfully — and present a united front, so they have more bargaining leverage with him together than they do separately.
